The Architecture Department has focused on enhancing accessibility in Council buildings since the late 1980s. Implementing a Universal Design approach, efforts included retrofitting existing facilities. Statistical data from Stats SA reveals significant numbers of disabled individuals, with males primarily facing physical disabilities and females facing visual impairments. Budget constraints initially slowed progress, but a strategic upgrade project was launched in 2009, ahead of the 2010 Soccer World Cup, to assess 547 buildings for compliance and necessary improvements. These initiatives reflect a commitment to the principle “Nothing about us without us.”

  1. 10 Years of Freedom is“Nothing about us without us”

  2. CSA1773ACCESSIBILITY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

  3. BACKGROUND Since the late 1980’s, the Architecture Department has been pursuing a programme of accessibility to Council buildings. This was characterised by an Universal Design approach to new projects as well as the retrofitting of existing facilities

  4. Table 1(a): Statistical Information on Disability. Source: Stats SA Census Report 2001 Totals (Male) Sight 245 681 Physical 281 099 Hearing 147 603 Intellectual 107 521 Communication 40 067 Emotional 142 951 Multiple 117 119 Subtotal All 1 082 041

  5. The largest percentage of male disabled persons is physically disabled, followed by visually impaired persons. Statistics also reflect the fact that a substantial number of male disabled persons have more than one disability.

  6. Table 1 (b): Distribution of female persons with disability (Stats SA 2001) FemaleSight 331 412 Physical 276 415 Hearing 165 980 Intellectual 98 928 Communication 35 385 Emotional 125 762Multiple 140 050Subtotal All 1 173 932

  7. Budgetary and delivery constraints resulted in an unplanned ‘slow-down’ of the retrofitting initiative which created a backlog

  8. In August 2009, and in an endeavour to improve the City’s accessibility ahead of the 2010 Soccer World Cup, the programme was accelerated with a strategic upgrade project involving an estimated 500 existing buildings and properties.

  9. A total of 547 buildings were surveyed and a report was compiled detailing compliance with relevant legislation (SABS 0400 – 1990 NBR Byelaws and SABS 0246 – Accessibility to buildings for disabled persons), required interventions and priority.
